"One of the big differences this weekend was that our defense held it together really well," said captain Rebe Glass. "It wasn't just an effort buy the offense. We got our goals when they counted-the kind of goals we've been deserving and haven't gotten-so to finally get them was great. But it was definitely an overall team effort to step up our game."
"I think that as a whole our team was on a different level this weekend," Foster said. "We played with so much intensity, and it made a big difference for us. Things just seemed to come together."
With renewed spirit and confidence, Harvard looks to face Connecticut this Wednesday.
"We're really excited about UConn," Glass said. "We're hoping to come out very strong from the first whistle-the way we ended against Maryland. If we can do that we can play with any team."
